==Rithmatics==
Little is known about how a Shadowblaze grants Rithmatic powers, other than the fact that they are integral to the process.{{wob ref|11530}} When children are eight years old, they are subjected to an "inception ceremony" held yearly on the fourth of July.{{book ref|Rithmatist|12}} They are blessed by a vicar and sent into a special inception chamber.{{book ref|Rithmatist|12}} If a Shadowblaze appears to them, they somehow bond to it, and immediately know that they have become Rithmatists.{{wob ref|4558}}{{book ref|Rithmatist|12}} Otherwise, they see nothing.
Joel is the only person who is known to have seen a Shadowblaze and then subsequently fail to become a Rithmatist.{{book ref|Rithmatist|12}} It is not clear why this is the case, although Joel's inception ceremony was held under unusual circumstances. He was older than the customary age and he also had a mechanical gold dollar coin with him that was known to affect chalklings.{{book ref|Rithmatist|21}}{{book ref|Rithmatist|22}} When Joel touched the Shadowblaze in the inception chamber, it shook and its form warped as it fell to the floor and became two-dimensional. It disappeared into a slit under an altar in the chamber that Joel described as leading to nothing but darkness.{{book ref|Rithmatist|22}}
